Saharan Dust Plume Set to Impact Southeastern U.S. This Week
A massive cloud of Saharan dust is making its way across the Caribbean and is expected to blanket parts of Florida, Texas, and the Gulf Coast. Residents are advised to stay indoors as air quality may be significantly affected. This gigantic dust plume, comparable in size to the continental U.S., poses respiratory risks and could influence weather patterns, including the Atlantic hurricane season. As the dust cloud arrives, hazy skies and reduced visibility are anticipated, prompting travel alerts. Meteorologists are monitoring the situation closely.
